AWKWARD! We all have them. Those weird places in our homes that we’re just not quite sure what to do with. I’ve run into a few strange, architectural issues and had to really think about what to do with them. So … the answer to almost every design problem is ….. PAINT Yup. It’s that…

Homing
Here we are again …. or is it still? Home. Stay home … lockdown … grey zone … whatever you call it we’ve been living this merry-go-round life for over a year and we’d all like to get off the ride. Many of us have used this time to freshen things up. Painting, renovating, cleaning.…

Farmhouse
Alright … let’s talk Farmhouse! I love this design style for it’s clean and casual feel. It incorporates lots of wood and soft fabrics, baskets and, of course, plants. I’m a thrift store shopper with an eye for unusual vintage pieces and they fit in perfectly with this decor. The trick is to not overload…

New Year, New Digs!
Wow! Where did the time go? You’d think being locked down, isolated in our homes the time would drag, but it’s been anything but for us. I took a break over the holidays, however, after a quiet Christmas and New Year I’m back at it, transforming our home. The first thing I wanted to tackle…

Finding peace

For the moment, painting has moved outside until the carpet is installed in the family room. There is movement there, however, it’s happening in…

Tile (part 2)
In part 1 I painted the porcelain tile of my tub surround. Next came walls and trim and finally … the ceramic tile floor. The sad, beige, mid-80’s tile was great when the bearded guy bought and installed it all on his own. And even better was the WHITE grout he used …. IN THE…

Tile (part 1)
I have to say that I am so glad people have realized that keeping the (almost) permanent fixtures neutral is the way to go. Things like flooring and tile. We have been in our home for about 38 years and have lived through many decorating styles. It was built in the early 1970s when the…

The Challenge!
Here’s the challenge I gave myself: Transform my home without any structural or flooring changes. In addition, I have to work with the main pieces of furniture I currently have with a goal to reducing rather than increasing the items in my home. It seems very daunting, right? And in this current time when I…

Hello!
HELLO! … and welcome to Sing Little Sparrow. I bet you are wondering what Sing Little Sparrow is all about. For starters, it is a business where I sell handmade baby quilts and accessories. I started making the quilts for gifts and soon had people asking for them so it seemed like something I could…
